Think Ergo Arm Sling Sport XL: Comfortable Medical Sling with Extendable Pouch. Arm, Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Support

I was not sure of this initially but as i worked out how to put on by self found this to be the best. Still in some pain to get on as have to position self. Only an issue if restricted shoulder movement. (Broken shoulder joint). Once on keeps arm in place and well support. Thumb and finger support elasticated and comfortable. As no buckle and foam with edge covered straps nothing to dig in to neck and back. Still more comfortable with hoodie underneath given weight of arm. Only down side is sleeve could be longer. No pockets but sleeve deep enough enough to place phone, gloves etc in.When i spoke with physio, they did not recommend the ones where you strap around body. I would not be able to do by self. So this one is great to do by self.

I have a shoulder injury and The NHS version was rubbish.. I purchased this after reading the mixed reviews.I have to say I find this sling very comfortable and easy to use, I have minimal movement of my shoulder meaning I only have one hand/arm to use. I can put the sling on and adjust all with my good arm no problem. Only thing that would make this sling even better would be a support strap around the waistline/body to further restrict movement of injured arm.

I am waiting for rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder, it is extremely painful at times, wearing the sling helps to ease the pain and stops me tensing my arm & shoulder so much. I couldn’t get comfortable whilst sitting in the evenings but this really helps.

I have a mid shaft fracture of the humerus bone and purchased this as a replacement of a foam sling that I had, which was given by the hospital.My best advice on this particular sling is that you should consult your doctor before using it. The sling it self is good in its operation, you can adjust it easily and the material seems to be decent. When I placed this sling on my arm however, it caused me more pain as it wasn’t keeping my wrist high enough. When I tightened the sling to try and bring my wrist up, it tightened the whole sling tightened up - bringing more pressure to my arm. This caused me more pain in my elbow and shoulders. Also I found the actual arm holding section was too short for my arm and my wrist wasn’t properly supported.The product itself is good, but it wasn’t for me and I have returned back to my foam sling and have no additional pain.

Broke my wrist and the sling the hospital gave me was itchy and not very comfortable. This support was so much better but I find with whatever sling support you use, it’s going to pull and dig in to your neck so I always use a scarf or snood to protect my neck where it digs in.
